for those who used polaroid guest books...

I would ask someone to 'man' the table with the polaroid guestbook. That person can take the pics of the guests and direct them to sign on a page which he/she will then glue the picture to.

This way people KNOW about it, know how it's done, and it actually gets used.

I never heard about polariod guestbooks... i guess im still a newbie in so many ways!

what exactly happens - take a polariod and sign?

I did a little bit of something different - I took pictures of DH and I growing up and then together and filled a scrapbook with them.

Our families and friends signed around the pages, where they were with us, writing comments and recollecting family stories, etc

Pict are in my community album

we used one and everyone loved it!!!! I actually only got 75 pics (film) 'cause my mom swore no one would use it, but by the end of the night people were asking for more film!(and plus, there were some people that took extra pics & kept them for themselves!!!(rude i know) ANYWAYS, I actually didn't have anyone man the table, but i had the table set up in the actual reception room.....i had it near the DJ with a little poem in a frame....if u could make one urself or get a thicker album i would....we ordered the actual poloroid book & now i wish it had more photo slots! all the extra pics that didn't fit are just shoved in the back of the book lol....but regardless - everyone loved it! and it's so fun to look back on

I was thinking about doing something like this but with a digital camera and printer dock since i already have them. Do you think that would work???

---

Thats probably a better idea though I might be afraid somone might walk off with it I would think guests are trustworthy otherwise they wouldn't be invited, but sometimes you just don't know (especially if somone comes that you don't know well). I don't have a dock so prob wouldn't be an option.

For anyone that did this, where did you get the poloroid camera?

I got my polaroid camera and film at Target

Thanks sooo much, I didn't think of that.

It's sad but I didn't even think they still SOLD polaroid. I haven't seen them since sometime in the 80's I think.

---
